Women are
powerless and they have no inheritance. They are even worse than bad man:

"Women
are powerless, have no inheritance, and speak more humbly than even a bad
man." [Krsna Yajur-Veda Taittiriya Samhita 6:5:8:2]

There can
be no lasting friendship with women. Their hearts are like hyenas':

"With
women there can be no lasting friendship: hearts of hyenas are the hearts of
women." [Rig-Veda 10:95:15]

Women should
beget sons, not daughter:

"Almighty
God, you have created this womb. Women may be born somewhere else but sons
should be born from this womb" [Atharva-Veda 6:11:3]

"O Husband
protect the son to be born. Do not make him a women." [Atharva-Veda
2:3:23]

Women's
veil and other limitations:

"Cast
down thine eyes and look not up. More closely set thy feet. Let none See what
thy garment veils, for thou, a Brahman, hast become a dame." [Rig-Veda
8:33:19]

Widow
burning (Sati):

"Let
these unwidowed dames with noble husbands adorn themselves with fragrant balm
and unguent. Decked with fair jewels, tearless, free from sorrow, first let the
dames go up to where he lieth. Rise, come unto the world of life, O woman:
come, he is lifeless by whose side thou liest. Wifehood with this thy husband
was thy portion, who took thy hand and wooed thee as a lover." [Rig-Veda
10:18:7-8]

"If a
womans husband dies, let her lead a life of chastity, or else mount his
pyre." [Vishnusmrti xxv.14] [Clayton 13]

"Arjuna
having found the bodies of Krishna and of Rama, performed for them, and the
rest of the slain, the obsequial rites. The eight queens of Krishna, who have
been named, with Rukmini at their head, embraced the body of Hari, and entered
the funeral fire. Revat also, embracing the corpse of Rama, entered the blazing
pile, which was cool to her, happy in contact with her lord. Hearing these
events, Ugrasena and Anakadundubhi, with Devaki and Rohini committed themselves
to the flames." [Vishnu Purana, 5:28]

The Vedas
prescribe that a dowry be given by the brides family to the groom. The Rig Veda
states that cows and gifts given by the father of the bride to the daughter
accompanied the brides procession [Rg Ved X.85] [Apte 12]. Kakshivat says he
became rich by the father-in-law giving him 10 chariots and maids and 1060 cows
during the marriage ceremony [Rg Ved I.126] [Apte 13]. The ancient custom of
kanyadan, where the father presented his daughter with jewelry and clothes at
the time of her marriage, and vardakshina where the father presented the groom
with kith and kind are, in essence the dowry system.

Disable women and the women from low family cannot be
married:

"Nor (should he marry) one of a low family (such as an agriculturer's, or
an attendant of the king's family); Nor one diseased; Nor one with a limb too
much (as e. g. having six fingers); Nor one with a limb too little." [The
Institutes of Vishnu, 24:10-14]

There is no
creature more sinful than women; women are blazing fire; they are poison; they
are snake; they are living lies:

"There is no creature more sinful, O son, than women. Woman is a blazing
fire. She is the illusion, O king, that the Daitya Maya created. She is the
sharp edge of the razor. She is poison. She is a snake. She is fire. She is,
verily, all these united together. Women have no especial acts prescribed for
them. Even this is the ordinance that was laid down. The Sruti declares that
women are endued with senses the most powerful, that they have no scriptures to
follow, and that they are living lies." [Mahabharata, 13:40]

Although Gita doesn't talk about men-women issue yet it
accuses only women for corruption and unwanted progeny:

"And when immorality prevails, O Krishna, the women of the family become corrupted;
when women are corrupted, unwanted progeny is born." [Gita 1:41]

"In
childhood a female must be subject to her father, in youth to her husband, when
her lord is dead to her sons; a women must never be independent."
[Manu-Smrti 5:148]

Women must worship their husband as god:

"Though
destitute of virtue, or seeking pleasure (elsewhere); or devoid of good
qualities, (yet) a husband must be constantly worshipped as a god by a dutiful
wife." [Manu-Smrti 5:154]

Women and Sudras were declared to be unfit for study of
their own sacred texts:

"And as
women, Sudras and the inferior members of the twice-borne classes were unfitted
for hearing the Veda, and were infatuated in desiring the blessings, arising
from the ceremonies, the muni, with a vision to their felicity, in his kindness
composed the narrative called the Mahabharata." [Bhag.Pur. I.4.25; Muir
III, p.42]

"They
[women and Sudras] are debarred ... from being competent students of the
Veda." [Vedarthaprakasha of Madhava Acharyya on the Taittriya Yajur-Veda,
quoted in Muir III, p.66]

No remarriage:

Manu (V.157)
states that a widow should never think of remarriage after her husband's death
[1200, p.69].

The Aditya
Purana (XXI.14) also says that widow remarriage should not be performed in the
Kali age. [1200, p.69]

If by a mistake
or under some pressure a person married a widow, he had to perform penance and
abandon her as the marriage was invalid [Laghu Ashvalayana XXI.6] [1200, p.69]

The offspring of remarried woman are declared to be
illegitimate:

begotten) on another man's wife (belong to the begetter), nor is a second
husband anywhere prescribed for virtuous women." [Manu-Smrti V.162]

Child marriage:

"A man,
aged thirty years, shall marry a maiden of twelve who pleases him, or a man of
twenty-four a girl of eight years of age; if (the performance of) his duties
would otherwise be impeded, he must marry sooner." [Manu-Smrti IX.94]

Death Penalty for guilty of infidelity:

"When a
woman, proud of her relations [or abilities] deceives her husband (with another
man), then the king should [ensure that] she be torn apart by dogs in place
much frequented by people"[Manu Smrti 8:371] "And the evil man should
be burnt in a bed of red-hot iron." [Manu-Smrti 8:371-2]

VIII.371.
"If a wife, proud of the greatness of her relatives or (her own)
excellence, violates the duty which she owes to her lord, the king shall cause
her to be devoured by dogs in a place frequented by many. VIII.372. Let him
cause the male offender to be burnt on a red-hot iron bed; they shall put logs

sitting with her on a bed, all (these acts) are considered adulterous acts
(samgrahana)."

touches a woman in a place (which ought) not (to be touched) or allows (oneself
to be touched in such a spot), all (such acts done) with mutual consent are
declared (to be) adulterous (samgrahana)." [Manu-Smrti VIII 356-358]

"Every honest Jew who knows the history of his people
cannot but feel a deep sense of gratitude to Islam, which has protected the
Jews for fifty generations, while the Christian world persecuted the Jews and
tried many times 'by the sword' to get them to abandon their faith." (Uri Avnery, a Jewish Journalist)
